Here is my entry for 3 challenges, I've less time to spend in my playpen these days, with all there is to prepare for moving day. (53 days left). The countdown is killing me of course, but I can't get it out of my mind. Anywho, I find that cardmaking is the best thing, still my head does wander to decorating, cleaning and sitting by the pool dreams. LOL
First is of course one my faves, Cindy's teapot tuesday challenge.
Guess what, she's got another teapot this week. (Smile) I couldn't draw fruits to save my soul I'm afraid, so I used the colors as inspiration. I didn't see what the ladies were up to, so I might come back and edit if I find something funny to add.
Second is quite obvious for the Flourishes goers (Timeless tuesday) . Well yes, I am becoming one of the regulars on this one too. I used the "coffee with friends" image cutting one of the cups out to fit my little squares.
Last but not least, Roxie's awesome sketch from Meg (Waxyo) 's gallery. Love it, very pretty her card too.
Thank you for looking everybody and though there is alot going on on this card...bare in mind that there is alot going on in my head too. LOL Tried to keep some sparkle as in the teapot also.

Coffee or tea cups, doesn't matter to me, just wish I had a set like that IRL! Love the framing of the cups and the trim is awesome. You did great with the colors, and I'm sure you nailed all the challenges. Just be glad you didn't have any bananas or poker chips!

Hey Peggy is here! Bout time you showed up girlfriend! Your card is wonderful and how fun that you were able to combine all of the challenges! I love how your were inspired by the colors! The trim and embelishments are the perfect touch!
Okay, I saw that stinker Marilynn's comments, thinking it would be fun to see me run! Snort! But she is right! The gorilla and Charlie started out as friends, good friends but things are deteriorating. I think we might have to kick them out of the tea party unless they can behave. You kick the gorilla out! I'll get the itsey, bitsey, teeney weeney, little mouse! Snort! Don't get beat up by the gorilla!!!
Thanks for coming, thanks for the link! Love your card!

I'm glad you brought some spare cups along with you, I think some have already been broken in all the rowdiness. Bring your own cup, instead of bring your own bottle, LOL.
Leave that crafting stuff out till the last of your packing - that's what I did. After all, you need the stress-therapy while you're dealing with all the other things, and then you can go on sharing your creations.
ps, I thought of you while we were in Paris, hoping that you would get there some time in the not-too-distant future.

Peggy, I LOVE those beautiful teacups!! The colors are so pretty with the shiny sparkles. That is great the way you combined 3 challenges. I'm finding it harder to get to all of them lately too, and I'm not even moving!!
